THE AIR BRAKE. 



THE AIR BRAKE AND ITS 
WORKINGS. 

The vast and uDexampled use of the Air Brake 
makes a clear knowledge of it of vital import- 
ance to every one actively interested in the 
movement of trains. In order to bring this 
about more fully, I have prepared, as a supple- 
ment to '' The Science of Railways " the accom- 
panying plates and descriptive matter, illustrating 
and explaining the Westinghouse Quick Action 
Automatic Brake Apparatus. 

It embraces the latest improved appliances and 
such as the Westinghouse Company includes 
under that head. 

The diagrams, therefore, will be found espe- 
cially interesting and valuable to all who have 
occasion to use or make a study of such matters. 

Nothing could be more clear than the cuts and 
the explanations that accompany them, as they 
have in the main been prepared under the im- 
mediate eye of the Westinghouse Company. 

The rapid increase in the use of the " High- 
Speed Brake" in fast express service, and the 
favorable results obtained in handling heavy 
trains on mountain grades by the employment of 
the High-Pressure Control Apparatus (Plate G 49) 
IcDd especial interest to the accompanying illus- 
trations of these devices, to which the attention 



4 THE AIR BRAKE AND ITS WORKINGS. 

of the student in such matters is especially 
directed. 

Attention is also directed to Plate G 1 which 
illustrates the entire brake, and to the colored 
Plates, G 2, G 3 and G 35, which show the appli- 
cation of the various parts of the apparatus to 
the engine, tender and cars. The cuts that fol- 
low show, in detail, the various parts which go 
to make up the complete machine. 

In addition to the air brake the Train Air 
Signal Apparatus is also portrayed herein. See 
Plate F 33. 

A carefully prepared index will be found on 
the following page. 

In Volume 1, Chapter 6, of the '^ Science of 
Railways,'' the evolution of the brake is illus- 
trated, followed by a carefully prepared account, 
with attendant cuts of the air brake and its con- 
struction and management. It is again referred 
to with considerable particularity in Volumes 4 
and 12 of the same work. This supplement, I 
beg to state, is not intended to supersede what is 
said in the '* Science of Railways '' in regard to 
the air brake, but to be auxiliary thereto, for the 
better elucidation of this very complex and im- 
portant feature in the operation of trains and in 
the mechanical department of railroads.

The accompaixying cut illustrates the Standard 9 1 .2-uich Air Pump, which is usually located 
on the right side of the locomotive. A special "Left-hand 9 1/2-inch Air Pump" is also manufactured 
As its name indicates, it is designed for instaUation on the left side of the locomotive: but all its Darts 
are interchangeable with those of the Standard Pump, and its steam and exhaust-pipe connections have 
been so arranged that it can be substituted for the same and used on the right side if desired.

NOTE— When used in conjunction with an Engineer's Brake Valve having a Feed Valve as in 
most instances, the Pump Governor should be piped to the Main Reservoir Connection at the Brake 
Valve, as indicated on Plates " F 6" and "G6", when an Excess-Pressure Valve is used in place of a 
Feed Valve, however, the Governor is actuated by Train Line Pressure, and should be piped to Train 
Line accordingly.

RESERVOIRS. 

Main Reservoirs of the type illustrated, and of any desired length, are 
manufactured of the following standard diameters in mcnes, outsiJe 
measurement; viz., 16, 181,20*. 22J, 24i, 26^ 28*. 30^ 32^ 34^,^ 
36^ To ascertain approximate capacity in cubic inches, multiply 
the square of the inside diameter (which is ^ inch less than the 
size specified) by .7854, and the product by the length, less an 
allowance of three inches to cover flanges. 

Main-Reservoir capacity for Passenger Engines should not be less than 
20,000 cubic inches, and for Freight Engines, not less than 40,000 
cubic inches.

NOTE— The "F 27 "Triple Valve should be used in connection with the following apparatus 
only: 

Passenger-Car Brake Cylinders, 10 inches AND LESS in diameter ; 

High-Speed Tender-Brake Cylinders, 10 inches in diameter. 

Though similar in appearance, this valve differs essentially from the " F 36," or Freight Triple- 
Valve, and should never be employed in connection with Freight-Car Brakes. In common with the 
other Passenger Triple. " F 29j" it may ba distinguished from the Freight Triple by the fact that it has 
but one exhaust outlet while the " F 36 " Valve has two. The three Quick-Action Triple-Valves may be 
identified also by the bore of the Slide- Valve Bush which measures 1 3/8 inches in the "F 27." 1 3/4 
Inches in the " F 29," and 11/4 inches in the " F 36 " Valve.

Cylinders, 12 and 14 inches in diameter. 

Though similar in appearance this valve differs essentially from both the "F27 " and "F36" 
Triples, and should never be employed except as specified. It may be easily recognized by means of the 
letter " O " cast on the valve body. 'In common with the other Passenger Triple, "F27," it may be 
distinguished from the Freight Triple by the. fact that it has but one exhaust outlet while the " F 36 ' 
valve has two. The three Quick-Action Triple-Valves may be identified also by the bore pf the Slide-
